Chapter 44 Leave a way for others to live
Jiang Fengyan did not exercise much, but he still attended physical education classes as usual, and he did not think much of a 1,000-meter physical test, so he felt that running a 1,000-meter run was not a difficult task.
However, when he actually started running, he found it was harder than he had imagined.
The autumn sun was not as strong as the summer sun. After running a lap and a half in the playground under the sun, Jiang Fengyan only had a little sweat on his forehead. He entered the last lap and was still nearly 30 meters away from the first place. He clenched his fists and increased his speed.
Many students from Class 6 came, and several of them gathered together beside the track and shouted "Come on!"
Ke Siyi shouted the loudest and even ran after Jiang Fengyan: "Come on, we're almost there!"
The student who was running in the first place heard Ke Siyi's voice and subconsciously looked back. In just this gap, Jiang Fengyan overtook her.
With only a dozen meters left to the finish line, Jiang Fengyan and another classmate entered the final competition, with the gap between them crossing the finish line being less than one meter.
Jiang Fengyan was panting heavily after he stopped. Qin Yu, who was waiting at the finish line, stepped forward and held his shoulder. After his breathing became more even, he handed the water to him: "Not bad, I thought you could only get third place at most."
Jiang Fengyan drank the water, and his dry throat felt better immediately. He narrowed his eyes and asked Qin Yu, "Which one am I?"
Qin Yu looked at Jiang Fengyan and said slowly, "Second."
Jiang Fengyan froze, clenched the paper cup, and lowered his eyes.
"Jiang Fengyan!" Ke Siyi ran over from the referee's side, "First place! Our class got five more points!"
Jiang Fengyan raised his head suddenly, and Qin Yu laughed. He pointed at the athlete who was just as fast as Jiang Fengyan not far away and said, "Look at that."
Jiang Fengyan looked in the direction Qin Yu pointed and found a few people gathered there, patting each other's shoulders with regretful expressions on their faces.
"Go back to the base camp and rest for half an hour. Then pay attention to the broadcast and go up to receive the award. Zhuang Yue and others' high jump competition is about to begin. I'll go over first." Ke Siyi said.
"Okay." Qin Yu had a good impression of Ke Siyi. "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay. I'll just join in the fun." Ke Siyi waved to Qin Yu and Jiang Fengyan and walked towards the high jump competition venue in the distance.
"Just now when you were running, I remembered something." Qin Yu took out his phone from his pocket, "The results for several subjects are out, take a look."
Jiang Fengyan took the phone and asked casually, "Did you see it?"
Qin Yu: "I took two courses."
From what Song Shiyang said just now, Jiang Fengyan roughly knew that the two subjects Qin Yu was studying were English, which came out in the morning, and Physics, which came out not long ago.
The results of the two subjects were within his expectations. He opened the score checking software without any expression and found that Chemistry and Mathematics had been added. He had full marks in Chemistry and 147 in Mathematics.
"Are the papers graded so quickly usually?" Jiang Fengyan was a little surprised. It had only been more than half a day since the exam ended, but most of the results were already out.
"Many students left the big questions in chemistry and math blank, and not many really wrote them carefully and gave the correct answers, so the grading process was faster," Qin Yu said. "What do you think about the results?"
"The math is not good enough." Jiang Fengyan turned the answer sheet on his phone to the last question, "There should be a third possibility."
"..." Qin Yu laughed angrily and took the phone back, "Leave a way for others to survive."
As they talked, the two walked towards the class base camp, where a group of people had gathered, eating melon seeds and chatting.
"Sister Ke just said in the group that Jiang Fengyan won first place in the 1,000-meter race. Congratulations." Zhang Ze was the first to speak when he saw Jiang Fengyan.
"Are there any chairs left? Let Brother Jiang sit down." Su Maojie stood up and found two chairs nearby, one for Qin Yu and one for Jiang Fengyan. "I borrowed a camera. I'll come over to take pictures of you when you receive the award."
Chen Chenan sat in the corner as usual, raised his head and looked at Jiang Fengyan: "Congratulations."
Jiang Fengyan thanked them one by one, sat down next to Qin Yu, and looked at the people around him with a cold gaze.
For a moment, the scene was very quiet.
"College bully." Su Maojie suddenly reached out and held Jiang Fengyan's hand, breaking the silence, "Tell me honestly, how much did you score in the last exam?"
Among the people present, apart from Qin Yu and Shen Chenan, Su Maojie was the only one who was more familiar with Jiang Fengyan, but he was a thick-skinned person and Jiang Fengyan did not expect him to shake hands directly.
He had no time to dodge, and shook off Su Maojie's hand in public, but was afraid that the other party would lose face, so he barely endured it: "More than four hundred and ninety."
"Your total score is 500?"
"...Seven hundred and five."
Su Maojie didn't give up: "What about the last time?"
Jiang Fengyan frowned, unable to resist any longer and trying to break free from the other's hand, but Su Maojie held his hand tighter: "Forget it, more than 400... Let go of your hand first."
"Oh." Su Maojie loosened his hand and found that the left side of Jiang Fengyan's right index finger was slightly red. "Did it hurt you?"
"No." Jiang Fengyan's expression was very cold, "I just don't like physical contact with others."
Qin Yu sat aside and witnessed the whole process. It was at this time that he discovered how white and sensitive Jiang Fengyan's skin was. It would turn red at the slightest touch.
He was inexplicably irritated now, so he changed the subject and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"
Su Maojie: "We were just talking about our class ranking seventh in the average physics score this time."
Qin Yu served as a temporary translator: "The second to last in the grade."
Jiang Fengyan: “…”
"The point is that we have finally gotten rid of the fate of being the worst class in the grade!" Su Maojie said with emotion, "Can you understand? That feeling of getting rid of the label of being the worst class in the grade."
"No." Jiang Fengyan said in a cold voice.
"That's such a shame. Anyway, you've become famous throughout the school after passing the exam this time."
Because of Su Maojie, even the classmates who originally showed respect to Jiang Fengyan now came out to talk to him, and even began to ask Jiang Fengyan about the situation in North City.
Jiang Fengyan basically responded, but he said very little, basically just a few words or syllables.
Qin Yu listened for a while and then joined in: "Are your student numbers arranged according to your final exam scores from the previous year?"
Jiang Fengyan looked at Qin Yu unexpectedly. He didn't expect that the other party was also interested in this: "Yeah."
Qin Yu: "What's your number?"
Jiang Fengyan raised his eyes and paused before saying, "Number 1."
"Oh my god, he's actually a top student!" Su Maojie shouted in surprise.
"Nonsense, otherwise how could you get into Beicheng?" Liu Yuxu, who was sitting next to Su Maojie, rolled his eyes.
"What I mean is, it turns out that he was also a top student in Beicheng." Su Maojie quickly repeated his story.
"Now let's announce the top five men's 1,000-meter runners-up: First place, Jiang Fengyan from Class 3, Class 6; second place, Class 3, Class 4..."
The campus radio sounded in the playground.
"Let's go and get the certificate." Su Maojie held the camera in his hand and waved it at Jiang Fengyan, "Trust my photography skills."
Jiang Fengyan's eyes were filled with ripples as he was shaken. "Okay."
